Solutions of Initial Value Problems Using Fifth-Order Runge-Kutta Method Using Excel Spreadsheet

Fifht order Runge – Kutta method (Bucher’s method) is used in solving initial value problems of the form

by the aid of Excel Spread Sheet for different values of step size h, and the true relative percent error ε_t is calculated for every case.
